reflective paint
Light-bouncing surface layer
Reflective paint contains tiny glass beads or reflective particles that bounce light back toward its source, making painted surfaces visible in darkness when light hits them.
Used on road markings, safety signs, and bicycle frames: The reflective paint on the crosswalk glowed in the headlights.
Also called retroreflective paint.
